Homemade Orange Salt

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 orange (peel)
  • 200 g salt
  • 1 twig rosemary
  • 1 twig thyme

Method
 

  1. Either cut the peel very thinly off the orange so that the pith (the "white stuff" underneath the peel) stays on the fruit. Or, remove the pith by putting the peel upside down on a wooden board, and, with a sharp knife, scraping it off the peel.
  2. Cut the peels into very small pieces.
  3. Wash the thyme and rosemary and dry them thoroughly.
  4. Put the salt, the orange peels, thyme and rosemary in layers into a glass jar and close it with the lid. After two weeks, the salt has taken on the flavours. You can either let it be as it is (this will make for a beautiful gift) or put the mixture in a blender and mix it until it's powdery.

Notes

Use orange salt in soups, gravies, tartes and dressings or sprinkle it over oven-baked vegetables.
